Hand in two models and a description.
Excercise 2 – Animation
Deadline: March 12th, 12:00
Try to come up with an animation similar to stuffmatic's Blob Study.
~10-30sec/250-750 frames. Render 10 to 30 frames (1 frame / sec) to get familiar with the render settings.

Projection Mapping and Spacial Illusions
At christmas 2010 and 2011 students of ETH used projections to illuminate the piazza at ETH Zurich Campus Hönggerberg. With spacial illusions it is important to know that the illusion usually works only for one view point. Due to our shifted camera method and Blender's "driver" feature (simplified python scripts) we are now able to animate the view point as well.
Stadtfest Baden Templates
In this post all templates for the projections in Baden are being assembled. To start with a file containing the setup for the final presentation of the semester on a model, later on some setups for real scale projections.
Export 2D drawings
Script that allows you to project your camera view onto a plane. What your camera see is being reproduced with vertices and lines - ready for exporting. 2D-Projection.blend.zip
Architectural Projections in Baden
In August 2012 students presented the "Public Projections" they did for their thesis electives. The projections were shown at Stadtfest Baden together with the works of projection artists. Cooperation between ETH Zürich, Information Architecture and Stadtfest Baden.
